Dembele is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury suffered in the build-up to the Hoops‘ Champions League qualifiers against Rosenborg which is expected to keep him out till September.

But he has left fans desperate for updates on his future after posting an image of himself signing a contract with the caption: “They wanted me… #FrenchScoringMachine #BigAnnouncementAlert #StayTunned”.

@DanixRx begged: “Hope you are not leaving Celtic” while @paddybrennan7 joked: “That you signing Paddy’s contract for him?”

@McLaren_67 said: “Don’t start this s***e again just tell us wot it is” while @Marty_Bhoy25 jested: “Hopefully a couple of new hammy’s big man”.
